MAINE  SOCIETY  OF  THE  SONS  OF  THE 
AMERICAN  REVOLUTION. 


Maine,  during  the  Revolutionary  war,-  furnished  men  on 
the  quota  of  Massachusetts  for  which  the  state  has  not  as 
yet  had  full  credit.  One-ninth  of  the  soldiers  of  the  mother 
state  were  from  Maine  and  they  numbered  over  ten  thou- 
sand men.  Maine  soldiers  were  at  Bunker  Hill  and  the 
intervening  battles  to  Yorktown,  and  probably  as  large  a 
proportion  of  our  population  are  descended  from  Revolu- 
tionary patriots  as  any  state  in  the  Union.  Our  soldiers 
honored  our  history,  and  that  they  might  never  be  for- 
gotten, the  Maine  Society  of  the  Sons  of  the  American 
Revolution  was  organized.  The  Society  already  has  done 
a  notable  work.  It  has  published  the  history  of  four  of 
our  regiments,  and  three  towns,  at  least,  have  histories  of 
that  period  in  printed  form,  while  all  our  recent  town  his- 
tories have  devoted  much  space  to  the  events  of  those 
times.  Much  valuable  information  has  been  given  to  the 
public  through  the  daily  and  weekly  press,  whereby  thou- 
sands of  names  have  been  recorded  which  might  otherwise 
have  been  lost.  The  interest  created  has  stimulated  very 
much  the  study  of  family  history,  and  because  of  the 
demands  made  upon  them  our  public  libraries  have  added 
many  valuable  publications  relating  to  the  Revolutionary 
war.  Altogether  the  members  of  the  Maine  Society  have 
cause  for  gratification  because  of  the  work  accomplished 
during  the  eleven  years  of  its  existence.  There  is  still 
much  left  undone.  We  have  in  preparation  a  register  of 


6  SONS    OF   THE   AMERICAN    REVOLUTION. 

the  location  of  the  graves  of  the  patriots  of  the  Revolution 
who  were  buried  in  our  state,  also  of  the  inscriptions  on 
the  monuments  of  Revolutionary  soldiers,  and  assistance  is 
desired  that  this  register  may  be  made  as  complete  as 
possible.
